choose another day to go back

Jiang Linlin actually didn't intend to sleep, but after lying down, he was so sleepy that he fell asleep.He was awakened by knocking on the door, got up and opened the door, it was Feifei.Feifei said, "Brother, I have been waiting at the door for 10 minutes."

Jiang Linlin said, "Sorry, I accidentally fell asleep."

"I thought you were just like a girl, and you had to dress up."

"Maybe it is." Jiang Linlin smiled, walked back to the room, picked up the phone and car keys, and followed Feifei out of the hotel.

"Where are you going?" Jiang Linlin asked.

"Actually, I don't know. Xiaoji suddenly handed you over to me. I really don't have experience as a tour guide."

"Why don't you take me to your school?"

"sure."

Jiang Linlin entered the address on the navigation and drove towards the school.

Feifei said: "After I graduated, I never went back to school."

"It's so close, why don't you come back?"

"What's the matter, I'm not from here, I just stayed here after graduation." Feifei said, "Going back to school again, it's not like that. Looking at those elementary school students, I will always envy them."

"That's right. I heard that you formed a band in college?"

"It was all a joke, and then they all broke up. Back then, Winter Melon was the most exciting. When he talked about forming a band, he went all over the world to find guitarists. After the band was formed, we really wanted to be popular in our dreams. In the end, we were in school. It’s much easier to chase after little girls.” Feifei was silent for a while and then said: “Actually, it’s the next thing to be popular or not. The real disbandment is because of lack of money. Donggua tried every means to get money to support the band. In other words, it’s almost a crime. On the one hand, we don’t have live pick-ups, and on the other hand, if the entire band members go to work to earn money, no one writes songs, and there is no time to rehearse, what kind of band is this. Later, I realized, If you want to achieve something, don’t say anything, you must have money first.”

"That's the truth."

"Assembling a band, the spirit is corrupted. I still remember the feeling of being swallowed up by the need for money. I guess Donggua is the same, he is the one with the most pressure. Now he has earned the money, no matter what the drums are. I also refused to touch it. Anyway, I can still sing a few lines when I am excited. Donggua is more extreme than me."

"I've read your book a little bit, and I think you're not the same as you said, and your heart is probably the same as Winter Melon. There are some people who don't like to show themselves and always like to hide."

"I write stories because I dream too much. To be honest, I often dream, and I often have dreams with special storylines. It's a pity not to write them down.

"Whatever you say, it looks like you're used to pretending."

"If you still don't believe it, we are engaged in creation. Inspiration is very important. Those dreams are the source of my inspiration. Xiaoji is also the same. Have you read his comics? He started drawing comics because he made a Dream."

"I don't have the habit of reading comics, only his illustrations."

"Why don't you watch it? The protagonists are you and Xiaoji." Feifei exclaimed, "Xiaoji suddenly called me that day and said he had a dream in which nothing happened. I said, nothing happened If not, then he won’t be able to meet me. He said that’s not necessarily the case, he might still be admitted to this school. I said, come on, I’m sure where Jiang Linlin went and where he went, and I have nothing to do.”

Jiang Linlin turned his head and took a look at Feifei.

Feifei said: "Do you want to ask me what I know? Let me tell you, I know everything, what you know and what you don't know. Speaking of which, Xiaoji entrusted you to me, and he is not afraid of me telling you ah."

"tell me what?"

"Actually, the two of you are wronged enough. How can there be those monsters and ghosts with strange powers? Only Xiaoji will believe them."

"What do you mean?"

"Didn't you notice? There are four people in the university dormitory, why did we only see three of us, and only heard of our three names, and there was one person who never mentioned it."

"I found out, I planned to ask after the last topic ended."

"The last topic? What was the last topic?" Feifei asked.

"Form a band."

"Yes, form a band. There is also the youngest in our dormitory, who is one year younger than the three of us, named Du Xia." Feifei was silent for a moment, then continued: "Du Xia and Xiaoji are very close, they both love each other. Watching anime. Donggua and I occasionally go back late after rehearsing, and they still get together to discuss the plot of the anime. Now that I think of that scene, I still think it is two big boys. When the second semester of junior year started, Du Xia came to I reported to the school, got off the train and took a black car, and that car had an accident, and all ten students in the car died."

Perhaps because he suddenly felt a little stuffy in the car, Feifei pushed down some of the car windows, and the wind came in, blowing Feifei's hair, bangs scattered on his forehead, and the top of his head was blown away by the wind.

"Xiaoji is a superstitious person. In the summer vacation when his parents died, he came back to see his grandma. His grandma would go to Sulai Temple every month on the first and fifteenth day of the month to offer incense and ask the monk for a glass of water. Xiaoji returned to Akitagama The day before yesterday, it happened to be the fifteenth day, and he accompanied his grandmother to offer incense. After offering incense, his grandmother always wanted to have a conversation with the monk, so he waited in front of the temple, and a fortune teller came and told him Fate is hard, hits with evil, whoever gets close to him, he will kill them. Xiaoji didn't believe it at the time, and ran away. When he returned to Akitagamo the next day, something happened to his parents. So he always felt that his parents were killed by him Yes." Feifei smiled wryly, "Aren't you stupid? Du Xia's parents rushed over from their hometown to collect the body, Xiao Ji rushed to them and said that he had killed Du Xia, Du Xia's mother was so sad and blamed Xiao Ji On the head. One year when our dormitory went to Du Xia’s hometown to pay homage to him, his mother just drove Xiao Ji away, leaving me and Dong Gua. We never mentioned it again.”

"He never told me."

"Why would he tell you. You haven't contacted him, and you haven't answered the phone. He's afraid that if he tells you, even your parents will cut off contact with him. He always wants to go back to Akita Gamo."

"I don't know..." Jiang Linlin was in a daze, "I really don't know."

"Do you want to know who he is looking for today?"

"who is it?"

"The fortune teller. He has been running to Sulai Mountain for several years. According to him, he looked quite old in the year of fortune telling. I suspect that he died early."

"Why did he still go to the fortune teller?"

"He said that he didn't finish listening to what he said back then. The fortune teller was going to tell him how to resolve the disaster, but he ran away."

"Why would he tell you this?" Jiang Linlin asked.

"Because..." Feifei said, "Because I liked Du Xia back then. Xiaoji did the same thing to me as Du Xia's mother, and he told me that Du Xia was the one who caused it. How could it be his fault, Du Xia Xia Mingming took a small black car. The school has always banned students from riding in a small black car. There is no safety guarantee. Xiaoji told me everything in order to convince me that it was his fault. Even his grandfather died when he was just born. He said he was sick and died, just to prove that he is really a nemesis."

The navigation reported that the destination had been reached, Jiang Linlin stopped the car, and neither of them moved.

Feifei said, "Do you believe what Xiaoji believes?"

"I don't believe it." Jiang Linlin said.

"If we say that people live for one goal, Xiaoji's goal in the past few years is to return to Akita Po. He said you will wait for him, you have been waiting for him, right?" Feifei asked.

"Yes. I've been waiting for him." Jiang Linlin said.

"Let's get out of the car."

"it is good."

Monk Xuchen waited quietly for Xiaoji.Xiaoji walked over after finishing the incense, clasped his hands together, bowed and said, "Master, there must be more than eight this year."

"This old man is eighty-nine today, and the number of times I drink tea with the benefactor is not much, and I drink one less time."

"Master will live a long life."

"I don't want to live a long life." The monk said, "The benefactor has come for the second time this year, and he hasn't been found yet?"

"No." Xiaoji said, "I ask Master to show you the way. There is one thing I want to do that I can't do. I am afraid of regret if I do it, and I am afraid of regret if I don't do it."

"If I remember correctly, the benefactor's grandma has passed away for two years. All living beings are mortal, and I cannot escape. Since death is inevitable in the end, why should people live?"

"Master means, since everyone will regret it, why don't you regret it after you do it?"

Monk Xuchen stretched out a finger, pointing to the sky: "God has its own arrangements, just try it and you will know."

Xiaoji was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about what the monk said, and then he said after a while: "Master, there is one more thing."

Monk Xuchen didn't wait for Xiaoji to finish, he said: "Another thing, you have to tie the bell to untie it. What I said is useless."

"Can I still find him?"

"Everyone has a chance to get married. If there is a fate, they will meet each other. If there is no fate, the donor is just a waste of effort." A pilgrim came from a distance, walking towards the two, Xu Chen saw that it was an old acquaintance, bowed to Xiaoji, and then walked away up.

Xiaoji walked out of Sulai Temple and sat on the stone steps at the entrance of the temple all afternoon. Before the sun set, he went down the mountain and took a car back to the hotel.

After changing another car, Xiaoji received a call in the car, telling him to go directly to the hotel. The booked hotel and the homestay were not in the same direction, so Xiaoji had to get off the car, changed to a taxi, and went directly to the hotel.

He was led into the box by the waiter, and Xiaoji saw that everyone was already there, and the band that sang at the bar also came.

Xiaoji walked over to say hello to the band members one by one, and commented on the song last night. "You guys are different from Feifei's version, it sounds nice."

"No, it can't compare to the original singer." The lead singer said.

"My treasured sword is getting old. The back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves, and the front waves died on the beach." Feifei said.

"Brother Fei is still very good, our version is adapted for Brother Fei." The only female member of the band said, and Xiaoji recognized her as a drum player.

"Come on, let's eat, I'm starving to death."

Everyone raised their glasses and clinked glasses, and started to move their chopsticks one after another.

The band members had to go back to sing tonight after eating, Jiang Linlin asked: "Singing every day, can my voice stand it?"

The girl said: "If we sing some songs, we will be very happy."

"Winter Melon, don't oppress young people." Feifei said.

"No, we asked for it ourselves." The girl said again.

Because of having formed a band before, Feifei is well aware of the difficulties in the development of the band and the desire for the stage, so Feifei didn't say anything, and turned to ask Xiaoji next to him: "Have you found it?"

Jiang Linlin looked over and saw Xiaoji shaking his head.

Dong Gua saw that the atmosphere suddenly became low, and changed the topic to a more cheerful one, and everyone started chatting again.

Because the four members of the band have a concert at night, and Jiang Linlin wants to drive, none of them drink alcohol.The remaining three old classmates, who are not very old, still can't affect them to reminisce about the old days.

When it was almost eight o'clock, the band said it was time to leave, and the remaining four followed suit, clamoring to change venues.

Back at the B&B, although there is no food, there is enough wine.Jiang Linlin sat in a booth drinking with three slightly drunk people.Jiang Linlin had no reason to drive, so he couldn't escape being downed a few glasses of wine.

The guests who came to drink and listen to music changed from batch to batch. Only Xiaoji and the others sat there until late at night. When it was time for the band to get off work, they ran over to sue each other. In the end, there were only four people left.

Only Jiang Linlin still had reason. He had been looking for various reasons and tried his best to make Xiaoji drink less, but judging from the results, his efforts were in vain, and Xiaoji was still drunk.

When Jiang Linlin reached out to the wine glass that Xiaoji raised to his mouth again, Xiaoji became angry, and he shouted: "What are you doing, I am already this old, don't let me drink, don't let me drink." Repeat the phrase don't let me drink yet.

Donggua suddenly laughed, clutching his belly and said, "Are you old? You are just a child, and you will never grow up." After speaking, she continued to laugh, until she burst into tears.

Feifei was also affected, seeing Donggua laughing, he also laughed.In the end, it turned into three drunks laughing together, and Jiang Linlin's ears were surrounded by three different kinds of laughter.Jiang Linlin was about to collapse, so he called the two receptionists to drag Feifei and Donggua away, and helped the drunk Xiaoji back to his room.
